thanks John, for answering the off-topic question. I will make sure that, I won't post off-topic questions in tomcat-user list...........
-Raj >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/09/02 02:25PM >>> mod_ssl is an Apache module, not a command line tool. OpenSSL is a command line tool, not an Apache module. mod_ssl is included in the Apache 2.0.40 source, it may or may not have been included with the Apache bundled by Sun. You'll have to determine that yourself, and in either case, you can always get mod_ssl from http://www.modssl.com. You're using Solaris 8, please understand that Apache is an open source project, and uses open source tools by default. Solaris 8 may or may not have open source tools like OpenSSL bundled with it or not...I don't have access right now to a Solaris 8 machine to verify. OpenSSL the command-line tool would be someplace like /usr/bin, not under the Apache tree. OpenSSL is a project all by itself, separate from Apache. You can also look for /usr/local/ssl on Solaris. If you still can't determine how to generate a CSR, my suggestion would be to get the OpenSSL package for Solaris 8 from Sun Freeware at http://www.sunfreeware.com . Which, incidentally, a brand new version (0.9.6g) just released on 09/04/2002. You can also get OpenSSL from http://www.openssl.org. Again, here is a URL that specifically describes how to build and install SSL using Apache (1.3.26 but it's practically the same), mod_ssl, and OpenSSL: http://www.modssl.com/example/ Since I posted the http://www.modssl.com URL in reply to your original post a couple of days ago, and the "examples" section is clearly labeled in the navigation menu from the homepage, I can only assume that you chose not to explore the very thorough modssl.com site as was suggested earlier...otherwise, you would have found the examples and followed them. At this point, being that: a) several URLs have been provided to you for additional support and guidance, b) this is a tomcat list not an Apache list, c) it seems to me that you prefer to ask open-ended, off-topic questions on this list rather than find the information yourself (its freely and easily available), and d) you are obviously root on your machine, I must respectfully ask you to consult any of the significant number of other resources available for help and support with basic UNIX sytems administration tasks, whether Solaris related or not. This list isn't the place to post general "how do I perform sys admin tasks on my machine" questions. I realize I am to blame for answering your post, and other similar posts from other people, and thus furthering the idea that help for all things UNIX related can be found here, so I shall do my best to refrain from answering such posts in the future.
